Mrs. Miniver was a movie that was propitiously timed, while The Magnificent Ambersons was a movie that was supremely poorly timed.

However, my favorite Greer Garson movie has been Random Harvest, where Paula, the Garson character, is much more complex and much better presented by her. She steals the movie from Ronald Colman, who was good but not great.

Mrs. Miniver, 49th Parallel, and Wake Island were all fantastic films.

Probably the best “small boats to Dunkirk” scene ever. William Wyler was a truly great director.

I never understood why we bail out the Brits. What have they ever done for us? They got mixed up fighting the Germans, alongside their forever enemies the French, and couldn’t finish the deal. The same three powers, four if you count Russia. If we let them slog it out, they go home lick their wounds, and maybe learn something. WW 2 was the result of the European powers punishing Germany. We bailed em out again.

They are our friend ONLY because they are weak. If they were strong, they would dominate us. Imagine that scenario now, with the Muslims in charge.
